Ordering The Items In A Choice Field
Filed Under Bento Tips
Although Bento does not automatically sort the items in a Choice Field and offers no automatic way to re-sort the list it is possible to simply drag and drop items in the list to a new position.
Thanks to ‘doublespiral’ for posting this tip in the Bento forums.

Appleworks had the same limitation–no ability to sort the list of pre-selected items. Since Bento is already in its second version, you would think the developers would have figured out a way to do this.
I built a choices list of several options, now I want to turn back one of the options on the list to it’s original state, ie “0″. Nothing like in the beginning.
Couldn’t do that, can anyone help?
Hal, you can’t do exactly what you want (resetting the field) except if you have a back-up of your data with the original state.
All you can do is adding an additional option which just contains one space (pressing the space bar still creates an [invisible] character). Then choose that option.
